We’re extremely excited to announce that Alexander Stubbs has joined us in supporting WCCD in delivering reading group sessions with his self directed ‘YAK!’ Project.
Alexander is the curator of the nomadic reading group project, YAK!, an open and communal reading group exploring radical histories through conversation and text. Alexander is also the curator of Hull Zine Library, an open-source library collecting the works of zine artists and self-publishers across the UK and abroad. .
He is a writer and curator based in Hull. Working primarily in text-based practice, his writing explores the world through imaginary landscapes in order to deconstruct and decode memory, grief, and language. Concerned with the political and social power of self publishing, and the ways in which text and image archives can be reanimated in new contexts, Alexander uses books, zines, and digital platforms to present his work physically. Alexander currently publishes a regular Substack column, SPECTATE, an ongoing series of flash essays recording intimate experiences and research, and his writing has also been published in Art Review, Aesthetica, and Corridor 8. His latest self-publication, I came home, was published as part of a residency at Hull Artist Research Initiative in Summer 2024.
